If you are unable to obtain an appointment at your chosen Test Centre you may add your vehicle to a priority list via our web booking facility or call centre. NCTS will do their best to accommodate you with a time and date that is convenient for you.
Car owners could be waiting up to six months for an NCT appointment. NCT testers have blasted no-shows as one of the reasons other drivers are waiting so long for a test date.
Arriving to an NCT Centre with an illuminated warning light is a serious no no. A lit up airbag warning light spells immediate failure. If your Engine Management light is showing, your NCT inspector might not even conduct the test! Not all warning signs are found on your dashboard.
If a customer requires an earlier appointment than those available online, we ask you to please place yourself on the priority list and we will endeavour to get you an appointment within 28 days. The option to add your vehicle to the Priority list can be found during the booking process.

Appointments may be delayed or cancelled, including if NCTS are not given accurate information and/or are unable to contact the person who has made the Appointment and/or the primary cardholder for the Appointment.
